The common name of the species is Saddle Oysters. In Anomiidae family, the only one species of Placuna placenta was recorded so far. The present paper described the taxonomic status and the description of the new record of Placuna ephippium under the family of Placunidae. Key words: Placuna ephippium % Placunidae % Mandapam area % India INTRODUCTION Systematic Position: In Gulf of Mannar and Lakshadweep area, 428 and Phylum : Mollusca 424 species of mollusks have been recorded, respectively. Class : Bivalvia Eight species of Oysters, 2 species of Mussels, 17 species Order : Ostreoida of Clams, 6 species of Pearl Oysters, 4 species of Giant Family : Placunidae Gray 1842 Clams and One species of Window pane Oysters of Genus : Placuna Placuna placenta was recorded [1]. During a regular survey at Mandapam fish landing centers Lat 8° 47' - 9° Species: 15'N and Long 78° 12' - 79° 14'E (Map. 1), the shells of Placuna ephippium (Reizius 1788) were collected, 2 right Placuna Lightfoot, 1786 valves and 3 left valves of different individuals for Placuna ephippium identification, which have not been recorded by earlier Placuna lobata workers from this area.

The following list has been prepared by Dr. Theodore Gill, at the request of the Smithsonian Institution, for the purpose of facilitating the arrangement and classification of the Mollusks and Shells of the National Museum ; and as frequent applica- tions for such a list have been received by the Institution, it has been thought advisable to publish it for more extended use.

The want of a complete and consistent list of the principal subdivisions of the mollusks having been experienced for some time, and such a list being at length imperatively needed for the arrangement of the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, the present arrangement has been compiled for that purpose. It must be considered simply as a provisional list, embracing the results of the most recent and approved researches into the systematic relations and anatomy of those animals, but from which innova- tions and peculiar views, affecting materially the classification, have been excluded.

  • Shelled Molluscs
    Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS) Archimer http://www.ifremer.fr/docelec/ ©UNESCO-EOLSS Archive Institutionnelle de l’Ifremer Shelled Molluscs Berthou P.1, Poutiers J.M.2, Goulletquer P.1, Dao J.C.1 1 : Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer, Plouzané, France 2 : Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France Abstract: Shelled molluscs are comprised of bivalves and gastropods. They are settled mainly on the continental shelf as benthic and sedentary animals due to their heavy protective shell. They can stand a wide range of environmental conditions. They are found in the whole trophic chain and are particle feeders, herbivorous, carnivorous, and predators. Exploited mollusc species are numerous. The main groups of gastropods are the whelks, conchs, abalones, tops, and turbans; and those of bivalve species are oysters, mussels, scallops, and clams. They are mainly used for food, but also for ornamental purposes, in shellcraft industries and jewelery. Consumed species are produced by fisheries and aquaculture, the latter representing 75% of the total 11.4 millions metric tons landed worldwide in 1996. Aquaculture, which mainly concerns bivalves (oysters, scallops, and mussels) relies on the simple techniques of producing juveniles, natural spat collection, and hatchery, and the fact that many species are planktivores.

A new host for Conchodytes meleagrinae Peters, 1852 (Decapoda, Caridea, Palaemonidae) CHARLES H.J.M. FRANSEN1 & BASTIAN T. REIJNEN2 Department of Marine Zoology, Naturalis Biodiversity Center, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract During fieldwork in 2009 at Ternate, Indonesia, a pair of a pontoniine shrimp species belonging to the genus Conchodytes was collected from a bivalve mollusk of the genus Spondylus. This constitutes the first record of a species of the genus Conchodytes associated with a spondylid host. The specimens can be distinguished from other known Conchodytes spe- cies based on both morphology and colour pattern. Its COI barcode however, strongly resembles those obtained from three specimens of C. meleagrinae and is nested in the C. meleagrinae clade of the reconstructed phylogeny. Based on mor- phology and colouration only the specimens associated with the Spondylus bivalve would have been described as a species new to science. The modest conflicting molecular data have lead the authors to fully describe and figure the Spondylus associated specimens and compare them with the Pinctada associated specimens. Based on the present information it is decided not to give the Spondylus associated specimens the status as a distinct species but regard them as host-related (colour)morph of Conchodytes meleagrinae.
